From TreasuryDirect.gov 
Treasury Bills In Depth  4-, 13-, 26- and 52-week Treasury bills, or T-bills, are issued at a discount from their face value. For example, you might pay $990 for a $1,000 bill. When the bill matures, you would be paid its face value, $1,000.
Treasury Notes In Depth  Treasury notes, or T-notes, are issued in terms of 2, 5, and 10 years, and pay interest every six months until they mature.
Treasury Bonds In Depth Treasury bonds are issued in terms of 30 years and pay interest every six months until they mature. When a Treasury bond matures, you are paid its face value.
TIPS In Depth  Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities (TIPS) are marketable securities whose principal is adjusted by changes in the Consumer Price Index. With inflation (a rise in the index), the principal increases. With a deflation (a drop in the index), the principal decreases.The relationship between TIPS and the Consumer Price Index affects both the sum you are paid when your TIPS matures and the amount of interest that a TIPS pays you every six months. TIPS pay interest at a fixed rate. Because the rate is applied to the adjusted principal, however, interest payments can vary in amount from one period to the next. If inflation occurs, the interest payment increases. In the event of deflation, the interest payment decreases. At the maturity of a TIPS, you receive the adjusted principal or the original principal, whichever is greater. This provision protects you against deflation.
